Toddler Care and Education

1 - 2 years old

Energy and excitement are a natural part of growth and learning. We channel that energy into positive learning experiences, giving toddlers room to move and explore. We go beyond daycare to provide nurturing guidance as they develop physical skills and master emerging milestones.

In this program, children are provided with:

  • Stimulating classroom environments
  • Exclusive milestone-based curriculum
  • Immersive learning experiences
  • Educational toys and activities

A safe, quiet place in the classroom for children to relax by themselves and spend some quality alone time, as needed.

Toddlers Program FAQ's

Our Toddler program is for children between the ages of 1 and 2.

Enrollment is offered year-round based on each family’s needs and classroom availability.

Each day, your child should arrive with these items: - At least one complete outfit change (including socks) - Enough prepared and labeled formula or breast milk (if applicable) - Jar food and infant cereal (if applicable) - Layers to accommodate indoor/outdoor temperature changes All items must be labeled with the child’s first and last names. Used belongings must be taken home nightly and laundered or sanitized.

Toddlers spend the morning exploring the classroom through intentionally planned learning experiences. A morning outdoor time promotes physical activity and fosters a love of the outdoors. A midday healthy lunch is served followed by rest time for children to relax and recharge. The afternoon begins with a healthy snack, and then children engage in small group play and learning in the indoor and outdoor learning environments.
